Assume that the number of seeds a plant produces is proportional to its aboveground biomass. Find an equation that relates number of seeds and above ground biomass if a plant that weighs 225 g has 26 seeds. Use the variables s for number of seeds and w for weight in grams.

    s = 0.1156 * w or

    s = 0.115 * (q+p) in terms of Top Biomass and Root Biomass

    Explanation:

    Since s (number of seeds) is proportional to biomass (w), and above ground biomass also increases with total plant biomass.

    s α w

    s = 26

    w = 225

    k = constant

    Thus s = k * w

    s/w = k

    26/225 = k

    0.1156 = k

    The equation showing the relationship between seeds and plant biomass is:

    s = 0.1156 * w

    Assume q = Top Biomass, and p = Root Biomass

    w = q+p

    Our equation now becomes

    s = 0.115 * (q+p)
